“Peyton Manning, considered the best quarterback to play the game today. Nobody would argue with that — if you like winning good during the season and losing Super Bowls, that’s your guy.”

While it sort of came out of nowhere, Bradshaw is right and is not willing to apologize. Manning hasn’t exactly distinguished himself in the big game.

It’s not just about the 1-2 record, it’s HOW it happened.

Look at Kurt Warner. The former Rams and Cardinals quarterback finished his career 1-2 in Super Bowls. His two Super Bowl losses were by a grand total of seven points. Do you hear people getting restless over Warner’s two Super Bowl losses?

Meanwhile, Manning’s two Super Bowl losses are by a combined 49 points featuring a pair of back-breaking pick-sixes. For the alleged “greatest quarterback of all-time”, that’s rather disappointing isn’t it?

Does Peyton’s postseason 11-12 postseason scream that he is the greatest? Does getting baptized 43-8 in the Super Bowl qualify as “greatest ever?” Not hardly.

Ultimately, Bradshaw has the currency to make that kind of comment thanks to his four Super Bowl rings and two Super Bowl MVPs.
